Problem with HTW install

Hello, I have been trying to install the HTW beta which I only recentley downloaded of the HTW site.

The error I get is this:

Textures\Men\Custom5\Custom5_H.BIF this file contains invalid data (error 21FC)

This happens towards the end of the install every time. Any help would be appreciated as I would like to see this mod

Hi,

well this must be a problem with the installation file I will contact Zimoa about it. If this is the only problem I sent me a mail and I will send you file needed.

Thanks for helping out Kominos, I dont know why it doesnt work for me I imagine it must have been downloaded by many other people. Anyway that is the only error I get and it means the mod kind of works, but there are no unit graphics in battle

So if you can find out whats happening that would be great

Do you mean you want me to send you an email? sorry that post was a little garbled. http://212.238.194.39/iB_html/non-cg...cons/smile.gif

I have the same problem. The installation always stop at 11% with a message like that. I had the same problem with the previous version of the mod (I had to dl it with the 2nd link, because the first one was always screwed up in someway).
Does anyone know when the 2nd link to download will be up ?

I have the same problem too

I had the same Problem at the end of installation yesterday too.
I downloaded it again and now have the problem already at the beginning.

This is strange, guys are you using some download manager or anti virus while getting the files? We have normaly alternative links for download, but not yet for this version. My self downloaded last version and installed with no prob. My sugestion. Install the HTW exe to a empty folder. Select all files and copy over MTW directory, or, zipped again the files and decompress over the MTW install. Just to see.

I've already tried that, but it doesn't work at all.
The exact error message I get is :
Battle\MapImage\Arid\castleflat01_3_1.lbm: This file contains invalide data. (error 21FC)

I'll try to download the installer once more, but I seriously doubt it will work.

Same prob........... ~:confused:

Same problem. Used a download Mgr.56k. Says can't finish install. same error. Had no problems with 3.1. Tried several different ways none worked. Download link is down so cant reload to install. ~:mecry:

i have this install problem also. the first time it stopped at about 85% complete saing the file Textures\Men\Fullp1Ar\Fullp1Ar.bif is missing/corrupt or somesuch, the other times i downloaded the file it stops earlier and says castle_flat is missing (didnt note that one down, sorry)

Hi all,

Apparently there is an error with one of the files. So check the other link ... I think 3D downloads is the good one.

What other link?
on the HTW Website the alternate download is not available and at 3D downloads is still the July 9 Version.
I desperatly want to try the new Version but I have downloaded the File from the HTW site 3 times now (once a day) and its always the same broken installer message.
As the Install is ended by the error only a few files do get installed actually resulting in an unplayable installation.
Please try the installer again and upload again.

So we should not download it till you say it's fixed? :phonecall: Tried it again no go. Error at 5%. Could not install. ~:mecry:

Ok, Count Zimoa... hope you are around.

Is it possible to upload a Rar version of the Install? I compressed it here, it gives 112 Mb. I suspect its the installer program.

I always test the files before uploading and download them again from the server using the normal links on the site,and do a fresh and new install check,same result for me as Flip,runs perfect.
Really don't know what goes wrong.
The uploaded files are ok,it must go wrong in the download somewhere...

LZoF ~:confused:

Not on my home computer right now so i will have a look tomorrow.

LZoF ~:wave:

same problem here, around 11% everything dies, any suggestions on how to get it up and running? ~:confused:

I dont think the problem is download related.
the whole 97,8 MB are dowloaded, but the error is persistent (downloaded again from a dfferent pc and tried to install there)
Battle\MapImage\Arid\Castleflat1_03_1.lbm: this file contains invalid data. (error 21FC)

Worked fine before very strange how this error came in a day or two later,you will all have to wait untill i have acces again to my files tomorrow on my home computer.
I will check and upload the files again.
Sorry for this inconvenience just be a little patient.

I have the Same Fault as mentioned first

I have build and uploaded a new version.
Tested it before uploading.
Downloaded it and tested it several times now,every time it works perfectly.
I hope the problem is solved now.
Why the previous files after two days became corrupt is a mystery to me,because i always do these tests before a public announcement,and the tests were also good.
It seems that we may make a update(not anything big though) yet another time so this is not yet the last HTW version,i will keep you posted.

It looks like it works for me :)

Good!

Yes download just now and no problem installing

Loaded works great. Woo Hoo. Tks. ~:cheers: This HTW rocks.

I just can't enter any multiplayer game !! ~:confused:

Is there some especific patch for that ? Or should I buy a complete HTW version somewhere ? At what site/url ?? ~:dizzy:

Belem, Brazil
~:cool:

Brazidas, you must play with people with same HTW version, you have'nt to pay nothing.
Contente por o nosso trabalho chegar ao Brazil, Portugal está no projecto, comigo. Até mais...

But is there any other version for download ? I saw some 5 matches being displayed and I couldn`t enter any ! It seems something is missing in my version.

Obrigado pela mensagem patrício ! Sou um estudante de Antiguidades eternamente indeciso a fazer mestrado. ~:p O HTW é excelente, faltando apenas pequenos ajustes, como o ano, por exemplo. Ainda não entendi a que contagem aquele 100 inicial na Era Geometrica se refere ~:wave:

Brazidas,

Mabe they have a old version, can you tell when you downloaded yours?

MTW engine dont deal with BC dates so, its a work around, but Komninos may explain better this.
